Summary: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in children affecting mobility and physical function. The hip involvement represents a frequent complication in JIA patients. The assessment of hip damage becomes a mandatory step in disease monitoring. However, radiological scoring was not standardized. This study aimed to compare the two scoring systems previously proposed, ex...
Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of emapalumab in children and adults with macrophage activation syndrome (sHLH/MAS) in Still's disease (including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult onset Still's disease) or with sHLH/MAS in systemic lupus erythematous, resenting an inadequate response to high dose glucocorticoid treatment.
Summary: This is a randomized, multi-site, adaptive, open-label clinical trial comparing the immune response to different additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine in participants with autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive medications. All study participants will have negative serologic or sub-optimal responses (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S (RBD) result ≤ 200 U/mL) to initial COVID-19 ...
Summary: The overarching goal of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint of pain and treatment effect in three distinct rheumatology populations. This would enable objective assessment of pain and treatment in these populations and enable a much more precise approach to treatment. Such an endpoint stands to significantly improve outcomes in these patients by eliminating the need for a trial...
Summary: Tocilizumab and Sarilumab are first-line biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) which inhibits Interleukin 6 (IL-6) pathway through blockade of its receptor on the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases as Giant Cell Arteritis, Still's disease and Idiopathic Juvenile Arthritis. At present, there is a lack of evidence to recommend the treatment of one bDMA...
